    Why would you want to listen to lectures from Ivy league professors? Those dudes (mostly) are paid to be good researchers and academics, not teachers. Let me know when a good liberal arts school, state school, or even community college has lectures online. That's good, efficient information transfer.

        If you take these courses and truly master the material, many schools have credit-by-exam type deals. They usually don't allow it on core courses, but you could potentially cut down classroom time and even costs this way.

                This is a great post, and the idea of lifelong learning and endless curiosity is a critical piece of being a complete person.

                  Online lectures are a great way to get a free college education, but there are also a lot of scholarship and financial aid programs that can help you get free money for college tuition and a degree, too.
